Both windshields are important to keep clean, as a dirty window can inhibit the safety of the driver and passengers. Luckily, the steps for refilling your front and rear windshield wiper fluid are simple, and if you have fluid on hand, you can do it yourself! Keep reading to learn how to change the fluid, and avoid taking an unnecessary trip to a local service center.

Put it in park and pop the hood
Regardless of the type of vehicle you’re driving, it’s important to stop your vehicle in a safe location (a well-lit gas station for instance). Once that step is complete, be sure to put your vehicle in park and turn it off. Once your vehicle is completely off, that’s when it’s safe to pop the hood and start searching for the location of your washer fluid.
Find where your washer fluid is located
Despite popular belief, it isn’t difficult to locate your washer fluid once you’ve opened up the hood. Whether you drive a Mercedes or an Audi, your washer fluid should be located in a white, translucent tank with a specified symbol on top. You can see this symbol on the bottom of this page. If the fluid looks full enough, don’t feel obligated to fill it.
Fill it up and replace the cap
If the fluid does need to be added to, it’s important to do so. If you have a steady hand and feel you’re capable of filling it up without a funnel, that’s completely acceptable – just be careful not to spill a large amount of fluid on the engine. Large amounts can damage the vehicle. If you spill a few drops, you should be fine to wipe it up and close the hood.
